We use the PRESENT PERFECT to talk about
our EXPERIENCE without saying when.
What about you?

8. To form the PRESENT PERFECT use the
auxiliary HAVE and the past participle of the main

If the main verb is a regular verb, the past
participle is formed by adding –ed.

learn its past participle!! (3rd column)
